A Frustrated Trump Tells Stephanopoulos: ‘Obama And His Minions’ Have ‘Co-Opted’ You
In a combative interview on Good Morning America, co-host George Stephanopoulos tried to pin down potential Republican candidate for President Donald Trump on several issues and Trump did not seem to enjoy the interrogation. When Stephanopoulos asked why Trump is still pursuing the issue of President Obama’s birth certificate, Trump responded “you make [the birth certificate] a big focus,” but argued it’s not a big focus of his campaign.
However, Stephanopoulos continued on the birth certificate issue until Trump told him that he’s been “co-opted” by “Obama and his minions.” Finally, when Stephanopoulos wanted to know what Trump’s investigators in Hawaii found regarding the subject, Trump angrily said “it’s none of your business right now” and repeatedly demanded the next question be asked. On other topics, Trump declared Obamacare to be a “total disaster” and suggested since Saudi Arabia is not our friend, we should stop protecting them unless OPEC lowers their price for oil.
In the interview they also explored Trump’s transformation from previously being pro-choice and supportive of universal healthcare. Trump admitted his past positions changed and moved on, a somewhat refreshing example of how to avoid being a typical politician who tries to concoct an elaborate explanation to suggest how previous opinions might be consistent with their current view. And then, returning to the birth certificate issue, Trump suggested he might release his personal tax returns, if and when, Obama releases his birth certificate.
